I have a weakness for any kind of coleslaw, which I’m happy to eat for lunch every day. This one is especially nice with a little feta sprinkled on top.

Preparation

Step 1
Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt, mustard, oil and yogurt.
Step 2
Shred the carrot, celery, radishes, cabbage and apples. I use a food processor for this, but you can also use a box grater, and for the cabbage you can use a chef’s knife. Toss immediately with the dressing. Serve topped with crumbled feta if desired.

Tip

Advance preparation: This will keep for 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator.

I made it without radishes or celery and I love it. The only problem is I made a lot (we had the cabbage!) and the apples don't last like the rest. They are getting mushy after 2 days. I think next time if I make a lot I will add the apples as we go.

Mae this without yogurt or cheese (vegan), and it was delicious. I chopped apples and celery and used box grater for other veggies. Consistency was fine.

This is wonderful, even with a sweeter in-season apple! Made with sour cream instead of yogurt because that was on hand, even my daughters-who-hate-cabbage ate it.

Good use for that extra half head of red cabbage, but not a go-to

I've given this recipe 5 stars, even though I have yet to try it, as it is similar to the coleslaw I've been making for a few years now. One day, "Apple" popped into my awareness as I was chopping green cabbage, and I agree with Ms. Shulman: it is delicious. I stay away from salt (no feta), and don't always have yogurt on hand. Instead, I often use silken tofu, which I blend with honey or agave, lemon & vinegar, and ginger. Healthy AND delicious = perfection.

I regularly make a simple winter salad… grated apple and carrots, a handful of raisins or dry cranberries, juice of an orange. This was a great change of pace, a nice winter slaw, savory with a hint of sweetness from the apple , and helps put a dent in my CSA cabbages.
